		Sigma (upper case Σ, lower case σ, alternative ς) is the 18th letter of the Greek alphabet.
		In early forms of Greek writing and in the Middle Ages, the "lunate sigma" that looks like the letter C was often used.

		The one letter that presents complications is lowercase sigma, which has a medial and a final variant (and the lunate sigma, which is used by papyrologists to obviate that distinction).
		The modern form of the lowercase medial sigma dates from the 8th century (although it is anticipated in cursive form as early as the 1st) (Thompson 1912:189); but initially the medial form was used in all positions of the word.
		The capital counterpart to the lunate sigma has long been advocated (Haralambous argues for it in 1999—§1.2.3.6—and 2001—§3.1.) The formal proposal for the capital was made by the TLG in September 2002, and it was adopted in Unicode 4.0.

		Named for the measure of variation that is key to the statistical analysis in the process--the Greek lowercase letter sigma ([sigma]) mathematically represents standard deviation--Six Sigma was invented at Motorola in 1987.

Generally a two-day meeting facilitated by a consulting group or an insider who has been trained in Six Sigma, the meeting introduces senior leaders to Six Sigma and aligns its implementation with the company's business strategy.

		This is known as lunate sigma because its crescent shape resembles a half moon (the Latin word for moon is luna).
		If lunate sigma irritates you, one way to escape from it would be to read or write only asigmatic (sigma-less) texts.
		The sigma is neither charming nor pleasant and is very offensive when overused, for a hiss is considered to pertain more to the sound of a wild and irrational animal than to that of a rational being.

		Unless you are in a context in which lunate sigma is distinguished from non-lunate sigma (for instance, a paleographical context), I would strongly recommend avoiding this character, because using it will cause normalization issues.
		The lunate sigma problem is ultimately an issue with the positional shaping of the non-lunate sigma.
		There are already normalization issues, of course, between the extended Greek characters and the basic Greek characters: for instance, one must normalize away the distinction between the basic Greek accented vowels and the extended Greek vowels with acute, though proper usage (NFC) prescribes the use of the former in exclusion to the latter.
